You can cycle all year round as every corner of the country has something to offer, depending on the season and the region, and it is a great advantage. This means there is not a high season, low season, or off-season for cyclists like in many other countries. To answer this question, we need to explain a little more about Iran to find out when is the best time for cycling in Iran. Iran is a vast country with a lot of high mountains, deserts, rivers, many national parks, and natural protected areas. It has a varied climate with two seas, the Caspian Sea in the north and the Persian Gulf in the south, and has different ecosystems. It means when we have winter in the north, people are skiing in the Alborz mountains, north of Tehran, whereas other people in the south are swimming in the Persian Gulf. Moreover, when people in the southern part of Iran, or around the desert, are experiencing a very hot temperature between 50-60 centigrade in summer, other people in the north enjoy a pleasant temperature of 20-25 centigrade in the Alborz mountains. These varieties make ideal conditions for cycling tours in Iran, so depending on your time of travel and your interests, you can cycle all year round. Iran is not yet a well-known cycling destination among cyclists because of the lack of information for travelers and marketing for cycling tours.

Cycling through Dasht-e Kavir desert This video is about one of Adventure Iran’s cycling tours is in the region of Dasht-e Kavir desert. We have performed a lot of cycling tours in Iran’s deserts. In some regions we couldn't even film and we used the pictures taken to show some places or people. The first group were some Canadian cyclists who came to Iran in 2016. This was a 4 weeks cycling tour from the south of Iran (Shiraz) towards the Caspian Sea and on this video we used only the desert section of their trip. We had other guests from a variety of nationalities in this video like Hong kongese, Dutch, Swiss, Germans, Austrians and some Iranians as well. The route we had for each group was different and they had distinct travel itineraries. In general, we cover the main important attractions of Iran’s deserts like Historical Castles, Oases, Old villages and Caravanserais which were one day a part of the ancient Silk Road. Also the two main Iran’s touristic cities of Yazd and Esfahan are on our Desert cycling tours. In this video Kuhpa Caravanserai, Bayazeh historical Castle, Mesr, Garmeh and Aroosan oases, Meybod historical town, Naien and Anarak caravanserai can be seen. The time window for cycling in Iran's central desert is the beginning of spring (March and April) and autumn (September – November). The road that can be seen throughout the video is the backroad between old towns or villages, which is very safe and as it’s not the main road, there aren't many cars that use it. Also a combination of paved road, dirt road and desert roads is taken on this trip. For accommodation we used a combination of hotels and caravanserais, which are renovated as a boutique hotel, guest houses and local houses.
